Mundane

Though the term can and is used in a derogatory manner, it slowly entered common parlance as an umbrella term to qualify any living being that has no Fifth Dimensional capacity or ability. This term does not merely apply to sentient sapient beings, but also to creatures and beasts, plants and fungi. Some people by their very nature are Fifth Dimensional, such as the Azimdi, but the vast majority of species and creatures qualify as Mundanes.

Mundanes outnumber non-Mundanes by an overwhelming majority. While non-Mundanes tend to garner more attention, most people tend to forget that for every mage they see there are several hundred Mundanes manning the cities, towns, ships, stations, and other facets of life.

A Mundane can utilize Fifth Dimensional technology the same as any other being, but utilization of Magitek requires significant training and tends to be draining to the individual in question, due to the nature of Magitek. This has also led to a bit of natural organization of having most major Magitek functions and devices including at least one non-Mundane involved in the crew or team or group.

While there are methods to cease being a Mundane, to-date all known methods involve soul alteration, and is a tricky and dangerous prospect. Even when done successfully there is no guarantee of being converted into a non-Mundane.
